  • Encouraging and educational!

    I am pregnant with my first child-40 weeks today! This podcast has been so encouraging throughout my pregnancy! It has taught me that there are endless versions of a normal pregnancy, labor, and birth. To hear from so many women conquering their fears through childbirth is amazing! I know I can be one of those women! The episodes interviewing midwives about their plan of care for abnormal/unexpected events are very helpful. I also appreciate that so many women have had seamless births for some o... more

As I get closer to my due date, I find myself listening to the Happy Homebirth podcast almost every day as I'm driving, cleaning, or prepping freezer m... more

  • Katelyn interrupts

    I love the stories and the information I’ve gathered. However something I find difficult to handle in my opinion is the host’s tendency to interrupt and talk over her guests. It feels very uncomfortable to hear. I would still recommend this podcast to friends who are interested in home birth but add this disclaimer.

  • An Invaluable Resource

    I have been listening to this podcast for a few years now (though admittedly I took a break in between kids). Now pregnant with my second, I’ve been devouring the episodes I hadn’t listened to yet, and it seems I came back at the perfect time to witness Katelyn’s return to the podcast. I have been moved by so many stories on this podcast and have learned so much, not just about birth, but also about healing, connection, and resources in other areas of my life. I just finished listening to Episod... more
